Business Writing class I’m delighted to have taken the Business Writing class. It was so insightful, and I learned a lot of exciting things about it. Most importantly, as I expected, I transformed from being a writer who did not rely on his job and overthought everything, to someone who discovered his writing style and could write business research quickly and effectively. I’ve also been able to learn how to conduct company research and industry analysis. These skills have taught me how the corporate world operates as well as keeping my mind focused by widening my dimensions of considerations to evaluate situations in professional and personal contexts.
